Man i cannot wait to see this episode now, too bad that Sceptile couldn't beat Regirock though, should've used Solarbeam, but Ash posessed is the best thing i've seen in this show since the jouto tournament.

just saw the pics, and i really think the evil Ash battled badly with sceptile

from what i saw he battled well until the lock on Hyper Beam combo did him in. Also how come nobody as comented on how the pyramid can apparently move from location to location yet i found that interesting as well.

This episode has hints of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'Power Play.' In that episode Troi, Data and O'Brien are possessed by spirits and the spirit controlled people are only seperated by a shock.

Spoiler:- AG177: :

Ash never lost and he never battled in this episode! Ash is possessed by King of Pokélantis Empire's evil spirit which comes from the stone ball sealed in the Ancient Ruins, and Brandon agrees to battle in order to save Ash. He was controlled by spirit for most the episode, so his normal personality and battle techniques were hindered in the mini battle. After Sceptile looses Regirock with a target locked 'heatseeking' Hyperbeam, King of Pokélantis Empire's evil spirit tries to send out Pikachi but May, Max and Brock block him from allowing Pikachu to battle. Normal Ash manages to break the spirit control for a second and tells Pikachu to thunderbolt him. Pikachu thunderbolts Ash and the King of Pokélantis Empire's evil spirit is forced out of him. Brandon uses the ancient pyramid 'Pokeball' and recaptures the spirit. The episode ends the the Battle Pyramid's corners extending to allow the propellers to have space to rotate and fly's off. Ash and friends see Ho-oh following the Battle Pyramid off into the distance. Ash recalls the first time he saw Ho-oh.

Ash losing was unexpected. Then again, I was wondering how they were going to wrap up a believable battle with so much time in this episode being spent down in the ruins.

I loled when the Battle Pyramid just flew away...didn't someone somewhere jokingly say that Satoshi-tachi would have to find the Pyramid, which was constantly changing locations. Neh?
OMG, best n00b idea ever! What if the next time Ash faces Brandon, he sends out Registeel or Regice? Then, he loses to them, and the 3rd time he battles him, he faces the final Regi? That way, we get the best of all 3 worlds! It'd be tediously exciting =D >.>

Well obviously I knew that. I said it was expected that Ash would lose the Battle. Though he may have been possessed, he was using his body and his Pokemon. I don't think Ash would have been able to take Regirock down possessed or not, so...

I must say that even though Ash has to come back that this is better than winning in one episode. The hiding behind the ref was unexpected and I found it weird that you have a Pidgey, HootHoot, and Salamance. One just stands out in the crowd

Damn, this is worth it to download just for Rica Matsumoto returning to her second most famous role. It was like an episode of YGO...but the protagonist actually LOSES! What were the odds? Hold up...

Atem lost four times in the Duel Monsters series, one of which is incredibly similar to this one(Raphael). I estimate he had around 60-90 duels, so the odds were probably 1 in 100. Then again, I stink at algebra.

Back on topic, it's neat that the Pyramid moves around from place to place...makes it more of an actual challenge, since Brandon IS the final Brain.

...Hey, waitasec...Ash just lost to two Brains in a row first time through!
